The next two weeks of the term are jam packed with lot of different things going on.
On Tuesday evening our 2 Year 7/8 EPro8 Challenge teams will be competing at Stratford Primary against a number of other schools to solve problems in creative and practical ways. The children have had plenty of practice for these challenges with our weekly STEM challenges we have been having in class every Friday. If your child is involved in this please make sure their permission slip has been returned.
On Wednesday the creative problem solving approach will continue as we have the Otago Problem SOlving Maths Challenge. This is a number of problem solving questions which push the children to think outside the box.
On Thursday we have Athletics here at Toko School. If it is wet Friday is the postponement day. The children have been developing their athletic skills over the last few weeks with the Run, Jump, Throw sessions. It will be a great day and we hope to see as many parents there as we can.
The final paperwork and details regarding our TOPEC River Safety day which is Wednesday 12th will be coming home this week so keep an eye out for them.
Reading, writing and maths are going to be integrated into an ANZAC unit which will run over the last two weeks of term. Such an important day with great significance that we will be learning a load about.
Both Year 7 and 8 teachers spent a day learning some of the basics of Japanese in anticipation to kicking off our Japanese Language Unit next term. We are excited to be introducing this new language.
Have a great week.
